An Octogram
A chapter in the book Family
A New Addition
by Treischel
|
Meet Bindi, a Miniature Pincer that my daughter, Aisha, recently got for her family with three children. You can definitely see its Doberman Pincer pedigree. It is a small dog, that won't get get much bigger than a puppy. It has a sweet temperament, and is happily adjusting.
This poem is an Octogram.
The Octogram form of poetry was invented by Fanstory member S .Yocom (Sally). It is a challenging form of poetry that can be written effectively on many topics.
The rules are:
- 2 stanzas of 8 lines each for a total length of 16 lines.
- The syllable counts line by line are; 8-4-8-4-8-8-8-4, 8-4-8-4-8-8-8-4.
- Each line must be written in Iambic Meter.
- The rhyme scheme for the first stanza is; a B a b c c b B
The rhyme scheme for the second stanza is; a b a b d d b B
(Capital B letters denote lines that must repeated EXACTLY THE SAME.
Line two of the first stanza is repeated as line eight in that stanza,
and as line eight of the second stanza.
